This is one of the nicest snare drums we have had the pleasure of having in our store. The shell on this drum is the Maple Light which consists of three layers of 3-ply of maple creating a shell thickness of about 6.7mm and finished with gorgeous Cherry Gloss Birdseye veneer. 

All hardware on this drum is isolated from the shell with rubber insulators and outfitted with die-cast hoops. The chrome is in excellent shape and does not show any signs of pitting. Currently, this drum is outfitted with the original Remo Ambassador snare side head and an Evans Genera Dry head on the batter side.

For decades SONOR has supported the constant improvement of percussion instruments on a scientific level. The close cooperation with research institutes, renowned musicologists and leading artists builds the basis for these efforts. Several groundbreaking developments were made possible by these mutual activities. An example is the optimization of the resonance properties of drum shells. In the area of mallet instruments, vibraphones, metallophones and glockenspiels SONOR has introduced major improvements in quality standards. Also concert and marching percussion instruments have seen considerable further developments.
